The earliest church scholars didn't believe such a thing, and they couldn't have because errors got into copies during manual transmission of oral traditions all the time. --- Do good.

Google it, they're closing rapidly because they can't compete with renewables. Gas cars are short lived.

Balrog0 posted... anyway you can't target the companies without targeting the consumer You absolutely can. Take a giant pile of money and invest into making the grid and transportation 100% renewable, including with tons of storage capacity for low times. That will basically collapse the Oil companies and get us a considerable distance of the way to unfucking the planet. Take some of that giant pile of money and invest it into making the giant shipping vessels clean and renewable too. Etc. Balrog0 posted... It would take the entirety of the US to do this.

Why don't they just not buy starbucks, right? Yeah fuck people for liking Starbucks. Why fix the problems at the level of the overwhelmingly largest contributors of CO2, which is just a handful of companies mostly in the oil sector? We can just have Balrog implement more taxes on the working man Because we all know everyone signed up for ACA in order to avoid the tax, right? And there definitely is no risk of people just continuing their purchasing under more burden, which won't actually fix the problem. Balrog0 posted... I think you're vastly underestimating the problem. Do any of the Dems even back nuclear energy in the first place? They do not except maybe for Biden I think? and it is my biggest criticism of Bernie and Warren's plans. But the magnitude of the investment should get us all the way to carbon neutral and carbon negative if we use it correctly, even if it doesn't involve nuclear. $16 trillion over 10 years gets us a lot of renewables and research. All it would take is half a trillion to a trillion to plant 1 trillion trees which would decarbonize the planet. --- Do good. Eat communists. |

He for sure can implement a giant investment into solving climate change and he can probably get Medicare for all expanded greatly if he gets two terms. Everything else probably not.
